Cisheng Zen Temple has been building a temple for more than 500 years. In the previous dynasty, a devout layman donated a lot of money to open mountains and build temples. Since then, the incense has been very prosperous, and it is said that Bodhisattvas are also very effective.

Through years of donation and merger of pilgrims, this temple owns a large area of ​​land at the foot of Qingxiu Mountain. It can be said that the tenants "grow good land, good land, bad land, no daughter-in-law planted bad land, no land," and the senior monks in the temple have many privileges, and they do not abstain from women, and they do not lack women.

In this case, do they take such a great risk to rob the girl for the sake of the ***? And they have been doing this for more than ten years, and even the officials are not spared, which is a bit confusing.

What's more, the official's wife was the magistrate of Shanyin County, Xiashan Mountain, seven or eight years ago. She is thirty years old and has an ordinary appearance. The magistrate is from a poor scholar and seems to be interested in investigating the inside story of Cisheng Temple.

This makes people wonder if it is out of revenge, but if this is true, how could a few monks have such courage?

"In this case, all the elements seem to be gathered." Ye Xingyuan noticed the economic interests of Cisheng Temple and Tianzhou Prefecture, and also discovered the close connection between the second generation of officials and such temples, which happened to be an excellent entry point.

After carefully studying all the relevant content, Qingfei frowned and said, "Where are you going to start from?"

Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "I came here and said that the temple is full of wind. Since I came here, I will go to worship the Bodhisattvas in the temple first."

The parties involved are now detained in the prison cell of Tianzhou Prefecture, waiting for the death of Qiu Hou to be investigated. Ye Xingyuan is not in a hurry to investigate, so as not to arouse others' suspicion, and then kill people to silence them.

He planned to go to the crime scene first, and sometimes bricks, tiles, wood, stones, clay sculptures and wood carvings are better than people - at least they won't lie.

On the second day, Ye Xingyuan took Changsui, disguised as a Jinyiwei, leisurely stepped on Qingxiu Mountain and walked towards Cisheng Temple in the name of visiting.

Qingxiu Mountain is a famous mountain in Shu. Although it is not a peak, it is elegant and beautiful. Now spring is the time when the mountains are full of flowers. There are so many tourists on weekdays, and it has not been affected by the Cisheng Temple incident.

"The spring scenery is beautiful, who knew there was a Zhongshan wolf in the mountains?" Ye Xingyuan sighed deeply, walked through the crowd and climbed up the mountain road. After turning over a mountain spring, there was a stone pavilion. Lu Shiyi Niang was waiting in the pavilion. When he saw Ye Xingyuan arrive, he quickly stood up to greet him.

Ye Xingyuan waved his hand and signaled her not to reveal traces. He walked to the pavilion without hesitation and asked in a low voice: "Are there any suspicious figures around Cisheng Temple?"

Lu Shiyi Niang shook her head and said, "It has been a month since Cisheng Temple was enshrined. Occasionally, uninformed pilgrims pass by, only the locals will explain it. No one is in charge."

Ye Xingyuan sighed: "They are fearless and are not afraid of anyone going to investigate. This is also good, it will make it convenient for us."

If such a scandal happens in central Beijing or a more prosperous place, the official will never let it go so unscrupulously. He will definitely find a few people to keep an eye on it at any time. If there is any change, it can be remedy in time.

But the sky in Shu is high and the emperor is far away. Maybe everyone is a local emperor for a long time. He never thought that anyone would come to dig three feet of the ground. Therefore, Cisheng Temple just posted a seal at the door, and only an old monk was responsible for taking care of the few remaining property in the temple.

The most meticulous thing that Tianzhou Prefecture did was to sweep away the valuable gold, silver and softness in the temple, leaving not even half a copper coin.

After Ye Xingyuan saw this file, he secretly sent the Jinyiwei to inform Lu Shiyi Niang who had entered Sichuan in advance, asking her to prepare for the preliminary investigation first. Lu Shiyi Niang worked diligently and had already wandered around the Cisheng Temple, but found nothing suspicious.

While they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of Cisheng Temple. Although there was a seal on Ye Xingyuanjian's mountain gate, it had been torn apart. It seemed that it was not the first time that others were in and out.

He asked Lu Shiyi Niang, and only then did he know that the seal had been broken before she came here. Perhaps the local people had no way to vent their anger, so he dragged some houses back from the temple, and even chopped them as firewood. The monk who was guarding the door was old and dared not obstruct them. Now the temple has almost become white.

Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "It deserves it! But I'm afraid that the people will destroy the evidence, so that will be troublesome."

Lu Shiyi Niang hurriedly said, "The local government in the backyard has locked it, and the people cannot enter. After our Jinyiwei arrived, we added another lock and guarded it day and night, so the inside must be kept as it is."

All the monks, lustful and erotic, were all in the secret room in the backyard, and all kinds of evidence were preserved. However, the dead bodies had been transported back to the yamen, but Ye Xingyuan did not come here this time to see this.

Ye Xingyuan praised: "You are more meticulous now and you are doing well."

With a praise, Lu Shiyi Niang was almost completely weak. She knew that Ye Xingyuan's future was limitless, so she followed her wholeheartedly. Although Ye Xingyuan had not been promoted in the Jinyiwei's official position, Lu Shiyi Niang was still the general flag. But she was not in a hurry, and she firmly believed that with Ye Xingyuan's ability and favor, she would be in a commander sooner or later without any pressure, and she would be in a high position.

She walked forward diligently and pushed open the mountain gate for Ye Xingyuan. The old monk was sweeping the fallen leaves at the door. Seeing that they were extraordinary, they did not dare to stop them. Ye Xingyuan politely greeted him, and even rewarded him with a few coins and asked a few gossip.

However, the monk was deaf and dumb, and he could only vaguely recite a few sutras. Ye Xingyuan couldn't ask anything, so he didn't get involved. He followed Lu Shiyi Niang first bypassing the front hall and walking towards the meditation room in the backyard.

Cisheng Temple is a traditional three-chamber structure. Originally, the east and west sides of the front, middle and back halls should be meditation rooms, but because the incense is too high, they are all converted into incense shops and sutra halls. In addition, a large piece of land is flat outside the back wall and several quiet rooms are built.

The crime of robbery in the past decade is here.

Ye Xingyuan was not in a hurry. Every time he entered the hall, he would go in to worship Buddha, but the hall was empty, wooden fish, cushions, incense burners, altars and other items were all empty, and only the Buddha statues were still left.

Entering the Main Hall, Ye Xingyuan found that the person worshipping the Medicine Buddha in Cisheng Temple, and was slightly stunned and said, "The file has not been recorded. Cisheng Temple is the Eastern Buddha Sect, and worships the Eastern Buddha Medicine Buddha's Glazed Light..."

Lu Shiyi Niang was confused and felt deeply ignorant. In her opinion, all the Buddha statues were similar, so she could tell who was who, so she asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Ye Xing walked a long journey: "It's just that there are few temples that worship the Eastern Buddhas, and it cannot be said that it is inappropriate. At that time, 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties were half dedicated to the Western Buddha Sakyamuni, and half to the Middle Land Buddha Maitreya. There were only a dozen temples that worship the Eastern Buddha Medicine Master at most. Later, the inheritance was cut off, and there were even fewer temples in the Eastern Buddhas."

Buddhism in Xuanyuan world did not prosper in Middle Earth as well as on the earth. After all, the dignity of the gods divided up most of the faiths of ordinary people, and Buddhism could only reduce some leftovers. However, they were skillful and good at maneuvers. They were quite popular among literati and scholars, and they could also fool fools and witty men and women, and were widely circulated.

Buddhism is divided into three sects, which believe in Sakyamuni, Maitreya and Medicine Buddha, but the Eastern Sect is in a weak position, with only the Middle and Western Sects flourishing. Therefore, Ye Xingyuan also found that Cisheng Temple was actually the Dongzong Temple, which was quite strange.

Lu Shiyi Niang said strangely: "Since all three are Buddhas, why is the Medicine Buddha alone unpopular?"

Ye Xingyuan sneered: "This is to blame those bald donkeys for not being polite. When Emperor Ming asked them to preach, who knew that they dared to speak nonsense and said that the saint was the incarnation of Medicine Buddha, who came here to enlighten the people of the East. Of course, this was immediately forbidden and destroyed.

They were obedient and quickly took back the statement, so that the incense was kept inextinguishable. But the Medicine Buddha was also put into another book, and at least they rarely saw their temples in the Central Plains."

It is a great way to say that the saint is the incarnation of the Medicine Buddha. The monks' power has never reached its peak. When they are suppressed, they will become weaker and they will never dare to say such things.

It’s not their fault. Buddhism has always been a big talk to shock believers, but unfortunately it hits a wall in the Central Plains.

Ye Xingyuan felt that this place was a temple of the Oriental Buddha Sect and might have any connection with the entire incident, so he wrote it down for now and continued to walk forward with Lu Shiyi Niang.

After passing through the back hall, there is a yellow courtyard wall. After walking a few steps along the courtyard wall, you will see a moon cave door, which is the road leading to the back yard. Now the two doors are closed and two copper locks are hung.

Lu Shiyi Niang said: "This is the only passage between the front yard and the back yard. If you don't walk from here, you can only walk around the mountain road more than five miles away from the temple to reach the entrance."

Ye Xingyuan knew that there was a door in the backyard of Cisheng Temple, and nodded slightly and said, "The victims, except for the letter girls who were incense in the temple, were all taken into it from another door. The daughter of Luo Laoshi who escaped escaped from this Yuedong Gate and alarmed the pilgrims in the temple before they were saved."

Lu Shiyi Niang replied: "That's true, but there are strange things about this matter. Even the Yue Cave Gate is closed during the daytime. Unless someone in the temple wants to enter, the temple will be opened. If you want to enter the backyard, you will be locked from this side and you will not be able to get through it."

Luo's daughter only said that she was rescued by a little novice monk. When she escaped, she saw that the gate of the Moon Cave was open. She was confused and didn't know where it was, so she rushed out and shouted for help.

Ye Xingyuan smiled and said, "If you say that, someone intends to save him, and wants to cheat Cisheng Temple. This case seems simple and involves many forces."

He walked to the gate of Yue Cave, Lu Shiyi Niang understood and took out the key, opened two locks in a row, took off the door bolt, gently pulled it open, and opened the door. The front suddenly opened, and it turned out to be a lush back garden.
